Obviously, they were shocked.
Because who would have thought that the prince of the kingdom they had decided to side with was this close?
Kael and the other three didn't even need to verify his identity.
Because there was no reason for him to lie in the current situation.
Furthermore, that arrogant but not unpleasant way of speaking was something he was born with.
It wasn't practice.
And one thing was for sure, the Tower would never teleport them to random places.
It was always on purpose.
And it seemed like this time, rescuing this prince was their mission.
And Kael had 2 days.
"Sir, why are you stuck in a place like this? Shouldn't you be in the Dicathen Kingdom right now, leading it and its people to victory?"
Hans spoke up, breaking the awkwardness.
"...W-Why?"
Suddenly, Erza became flustered.
"...I-If I said I was kidnapped… would you believe me?"
"..."
The four of them were completely speechless.
"How did you get kidnapped?"
